MOVE-IN
Some upperclassmen will already be up here and happy to help with move-in. Look for them on the freshman quads for some part of each move-in day (or contact us and we can see who might be available). We’ll also be bringing around the big Shabbos House Bike (really its a trike) with a cooler stocked with ices and refreshing drinks a couple of times each day.
Whatsapp Groups:
Check your emails or welcome packages for links to the various Whatsapp Groups for communications. We want you to be in the loop!
There’s also a new parents whatsapp group, contact us for the link to join.
OPENING WEEKEND EVENTS – all these events are at Shabbos House (320 Fuller Rd, near Great Dane Drive):
8/19-22: Kosher-on-Fuller Dinners are up and running during move-in- week! We’re also offering some lunch as the Campus option isn’t active until first day of classes.
8/23 Friday Shabbat Dinner at Shabbos House: Walking Groups from State and Indigeneous Archways at 6:45pm for 7pm Prayers or 7:45pm just for 8pm Shabbat Dinner. Don’t miss Opening Weekend Shabbat, its a special first time together for many students. Some alumni call the Walking Groups “the boats to Hogwarts!”
8/24: Shabbat Day: Minyan 10:30am, student-friendly traditional prayer services, with Torah Reading of Eikev. Shabbat Lunch at 12:30pm. If you miss prayers, please do come for lunch anyways! Late is fine! For lunch, too!

8/25: Welcome (Back) BBQ and Firepit: On the night before classes begin! 7pm at Shabbos House with games and food, and socializing. Walking groups from State and Indigenous Archways at 6:45pm. If rain, we will move it indoors.

8/27: First Torah-Tuesday. 6pm and 9pm to accommodate classes, both with dairy dinner served. Topic is “Baal Shem Tov Goes to College”.
There’s a lot more ahead, but first get settled, find your way around, and hopefully see you when you can, especially the first Shabbat and the Welcome event. We’re excited and hopeful for this semester and looking forward to celebrating together!
NEED A MEZUZAH? We have a bunch, and can get more soon. We ask for a $50 deposit and you can use it for the year. (Nowadays Mezuzahs cost us around $65).
Stay tuned for updates soon.
